Starry night at Wellesley College Whitin Observatory

Thanks to the students/staff at Wellesley College’s Whitin Observatory for hosting a public night this past Saturday night at the spookily-lit facility. Checked out a fine globular cluster of stars (M13) on the 6- and 12-inch telescopes, plus close-ups of the moon on the outside telescopes.  Astronomy experts chatted up visitors about meteorite pieces on display as well.
